I’ve been told this is the most unique meeting in the Atlanta area.

I would bring the deals to the table and other investors would provide the capital.

The thing to remember when you want to be a partner is that both people bring something to the table.

Now, no RE License so I need an Agent that works for or has worked with Real Estate Investors, and a Contractor with crew who specializes in almost everything, I am also going to do some of the work, I have some skills I can put on the table such as Gyping, Decking, Drywall and Painting (old school style, no paint gun lol).

This is the case (most likely) because each of the 7 cities are unique in their own way. 

Lenders are having to get creative these days and there are some unique loan products out there right now that I've never seen before that are keeping people in the buy box. 

There was also dusty, greenish stuff accumulating on the bedside tables and dressers.

I have been slowly saving my cashflow and using that to make downpayments on each new purchase.. it's slow and steady, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I feel like I am leaving money on the table and not maximizing my potential. 

1) I do not believe there is a speed in paying issue with any current platform (except mailing a check or money order), I went to lunch today and paid at the table, happened in about 2 seconds.

This could be as simple as having a brief discussion about what we do and they've expressed interest, all the way up to current investors.Once we have an offering on the table and an investor has been invited to see the offering we start setting probabilities.
